Leadership is in complete disarray. In just one year, six executives have come and gone, each leaving behind a new “strategy” that never lasts. Millions were spent on a flashy rebrand and “transformation” effort while the company’s financial health continues to spiral, insiders already know funds are projected to run dry by early next year.
Layoffs have become a routine occurrence, presented as “strategic workforce management,” but in reality they’re a symptom of poor planning and short-term thinking. Entire teams are dismantled only to be rebuilt months later under new leadership with the same issues repeating.
Nepotism within People Ops is especially blatant. Key roles are filled through personal relationships rather than capability. Experienced, high-performing employees are replaced by friends of leadership with inflated titles and pay. The message to employees is clear, connections matter more than competence.
